Arithmetic Reasoning Question
Today I present an Arithmetic Reasoning question. It is one of my favorite types of questions.
Distance and rate is an important topic to know how to work with to master Arithmetic Reasoning. This is one of the many topics that I cover in my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Arithmetic Reasoning Study Guide. Today’s question is on distance and rate. This question is a question about trains traveling opposite directions. Some questions are about trains traveling the same direction. These types of questions can be presented in many ways.
The question is:
If 2 trains travel in opposite directions and one travels north at 60 mph and the other travels south at 40 mph, how far apart will the trains be in 5 hours?
- 100 miles
- 200 miles
- 300 miles
- 500 miles
Do you know how to solve this problem? It is a two-step problem. I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
